134 – Achilles Uses TENT!

134 – Achilles Uses TENT!
It's Super Effective! The last "Story Page" of Chapter 1 (Two Wrap -up pages to go). This weeks answer: Jumanji! and Walt Whitman. Astute readers will note that Whitman's poem deals with the death of Abraham Lincoln at the end of the US civil war, and draw a parallel with Ralf's fate to die fighting the Vampires at Alf-Ridge.

Ralf (narrating): When I was young G'Star was a Jongleur who would entertain us with tricks, juggling, acrobatics, telling stories and singing heroic ballads.
Kid Ralf: Golden-Stars is SOOOO pretty!
Kid Rude-Elf: Ha Ha! Ralfie has a crush on the Chansons de Geste singer!
Kid Ralf: Well Duh!

Ralf (narrating): One time G'Star was telling our fortunes.
Young G'Star: Well little Ur-Alf, you're going to be the Achilles of Elves, or um, maybe the Achilles HEEL of Elves.
Kid Ralf: Can you narrow it down a bit please?
Young G'Star: The portents aren't really clear.Perhaps both.

Ralf: I don't want to bring grief to my people; so in the Forest I must wait.
Lady Frisque: 'til Dionysus roils your fate.
Ralf: What?
Lady Frisque: NOTHING! Just working on my rhyming

Lady Frisque: But who will end the Vampire Curse?
Ralf: What about that Cthulu High Priestess Chick?
Lady Frisque: The one that's gone missing?

Ralf: Yeah! Somebody needs to round her up, tell her vacation time is over, and to get her lazy ass busy cleaning up this mess!

Lady Frisque: I dunno if THAT'S a good idea. . .

Ralf: Well in any case; take care. THIS IS THE LAST ANYONE WILL SEE OF ME
until this whole mess gets sorted out!
SFX: WINK!

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches toward the chiropractor for a spinal adjustment?

The Mouth of the Ouroboros comes ’round again.

“Revenge is a dish best served cold” but only because you’re busy stuffing your face with “I can’t do shit about it now” appetizers.

An ELVANPYRES update is almost as rare as a real Elf sighting.

When I’m confronted with a moral dilemma I ask myself “What would Evil Dog do?”, and then the answer becomes clear- “Piss on it!”

The ELVANPYRES WebComic is on semt-hiatus

Awhile back my laptop crashed and when I replaced it I changed from Manga Studio Debut 4 to Clip Studio Paint Pro for making the comic.
I don’t have time to learn the Clip Studio, which means I can’t make the Full Color Comics, which means the main story is stalled out.
So instead I’m doing drawings and posting them in (mostly) Black and White.

This keeps me from forgetting how to do comics, and I’m slowly learning the Clip Studio SW.

Back when I was unemployed and starting to write ELVANPYRES. I had plenty of free time. So I made a list of story ideas I wanted to incorporate. Then I would try to write a few pages of material just to see how it worked out. I didn’t want to start a webcomic if I was going to quickly run out of ideas.

And that’s where these filler/preview pages come from.
